skype: how can I get my voice louder?

[Marcelle Soares-Santos]

Hi,
I'm new at ubuntu and skype so probably my question is pretty simple,
but I couldn't find a proper answer yet and that's why I'm posting it
here:

I first intaled version 1.3.0.53_API of Skype on my ubuntu 6.06.
I've tried the test call and I almost cannot hear my own voice! I've
set the volumes to maximum values and again, I can hear a loud voice
from other people, but no one can hear my own voice properly.
How can I solve this?

Thanks,
Marcelle.
